Are there currently any shellfish closures?
Before you go out to harvest recreational mussels or clams, call the 24 hour shellfish safety information hotline at 1-800-448-2474. This recorded message is updated when there is any change in the status of a harvest area. Laboratory results for “red tide” or shellfish toxins can change the status of a harvest area at anytime. You can also check shellfish closures on this web site to see if an area is closed.
